the little one has arrived: the tiniest one, but with the huge personality: it is all in his eyes :)

Alexandra and Evan

Russian Orthodox Marriage Ceremony: my first one being as a photographer, even though i am myself russian orthodox. this was my first couple being wed at our church. it is really touching to witness people having such a desire to adopt our religion.

details: if you are coming from different background you have to baptize as russian orthodox prior the ceremony. the ceremony is one hour long, everybody is standing (elderly and sick are an exception).

there is truly something warm and comforting about the place you keep coming back to in your happy, troubled or difficult times ...

the reception took place at woodend in bethesda: an elegant mansion in the heart of nature sanctuary.

Michelle and Phillip

loved the hotel (mandarin oriental hotel in dc) and specifically: i fell in love with the one particular painting in the foyer: will have to come back to get the author's name ;)

the ceremony took place at the washington cruise boat along the potomac: really great idea for a hot summer day: to keep in sync with the outdoors and at the same time being in ac proofed indoors :)
